Pig races, K-9s in Flight, Robinson’s Paddling Porkers and the Ferris wheel were the talk of the day Tuesday at the New Jersey State Fair/Sussex County Farm and Horse Show as the county’s little royals answered questions about some of their favorite things at the fair.

At the Little Royalty event, each of the 35 young royals got a chance to sit on stage with previous queens of the fair Molly Gill and Sarah Brook.

“Some of their answers are just so cute,” Gill, Queen of the Fair for 2008, said. “Seeing how excited they are, getting to be royalty for a day.”

While many contestants were nervous to be standing in front of such a large audience, wearing their over-sized sashes and crowns, they politely answered their questions and skipped off the stage to receive goodie bags from current Queen of the Fair Monica Maria Abdul-Chani.

After posing with the queen and getting to hold her scepter, the young royals received a small wish box from the event’s sponsor, Ella the Fountain Fairie.

Another royal, Luca Delli Santi, 3, comes from a long line of Little Mr. Andover Townships, with his two older brothers being crowned in previous years. On stage, Delli Santi used sign language to spell his name for the audience.

After sharing their favorite colors, future careers and fair favorites, the royals received free entry into the fair.
